Killing a Sacred Cow... (Experience speaking)

I learned about the STRAWMAN here, so I kinda feel as if this post will be hard for me, as well as the readers of the post.

As most of you know, I am a student. I am NOT the teacher, although being an effective student involves rhetoric (being able to recite what you have learned in a way that you, and the hearer understand, or "teaching").

I have seen the STRAWMAN spoken of many times, here and other places, and in my experience, limited as it is, I believe it is a distraction.

I believe the real issue is the "legal name," as David Merrill has pointed out in THIS POST.

I believe they will railroad you any way they want to railroad you, because your "legal name" [ALL CAPS or "decapinated" (my coined word)] has been their registered chattel property since the day you planted your foot on the (berth) birth certificate.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Thanks for being vulnerable on that, HB. I know that I have watched some of my cows get melted down and end up drinking the bitter water afterwards. Right now, I am working through the bitterness of Larken's indictment. Not that I am about to think the 861 evidence is a sacred cow about to be given up, but even trying to imagine that some kind of justice might be given in a court case like we have seen really takes the wind outa ya when ALL jurors say they can read Larken's mind and he is guilty.

It too am thinking a number of things we put time into are distractions. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" ought to be the theme motto of the present "government" ruling us.
I guess we'll just keep pulling back curtains until we find that weasel!

Thanks Scott.

I have seen the plow firsthand roll on over me when I exert this argument. Granted, I may have made it too late when it happened, but I still believe the issue is bigger.
